You're All Set
Once connected, you'll see your VPS desktop, just like on your computer. You can open your trading platform, monitor markets, and execute trades securely from anywhere.
Tips for Mobile Use
Use a stable network: Wi-Fi is preferred for smoother performance, but 5G/LTE also works well.
Prefer larger screens: An iPad offers better usability for managing charts, platforms, and terminals.
Watch battery usage: Prolonged remote sessions can drain battery quickly; keep your device charged during use.
Security Best Practices
Protect your credentials: Never share your VPS login. Use a secure password manager if needed.
Secure your device: Use Face ID, Touch ID, or a strong passcode on your mobile device to prevent unauthorized access.
